Rider Safety
Our memorial rides travel through a variety of environments including:
• city traffic
• mountain roads
• rural highways
• freeway travel
Weather conditions may vary, and riders should be prepared for warm temperatures.
Participants should ensure their motorcycle is in safe operating condition and that they are comfortable riding in group environments. Riders who do not feel comfortable riding in these conditions are encouraged to attend the event using a full-sized vehicle.
We recommend riders begin hydrating several days before the ride and bring water or hydration with them during the event.
